S2E8 Kishar's John Lawyer: Discovering Authentic Connection

C.K. Collins and John Lawyer of Kishar Spiritual Community discussed the challenges of balancing spirituality with modern life, emphasizing the importance of self-care and discovering one's higher purpose in midlife transitions. John Lawyer shared his personal experiences with trauma and self-care, and highlighting the significance of prioritizing mental wellness. The speakers emphasized the need for authentic connections in the digital age and offered practical strategies for fostering these connections through online platforms and one-on-one coaching.

In deserts of the Middle East and South Asia, John faced moments that would define his life. He encountered not just the external battles but the internal ones within. His walk through the desert and later a swamp of sadness wasn't just a passage through tough terrain, but a profound experience of self-discovery. 

Similarly, John's wife Stacie and their close friend Duska, who both spent years in Southern Afghanistan, faced their own battles, navigating through the complexities of war and their steps beyond. Each took their own path, and each found moments of clarity amidst the struggle. 

These journeys, filled with trials, tribulations and understanding, led to the birth of Kishar. A collective vision brought to life by three kindred spirits. 

At the heart of Kishar lies the Journey. We believe every step, every challenge, and every moment of realization is a crucial part of one's spiritual path. The trek through the desert, the struggle through a swamp of sadness - it's all integral to our evolution and understanding.
